I can't study 24x7, plus I have both MacGyver movies!<BR/><BR/>Also just to increase my nerdyness I was using Redhat 5 back in the day. That means I was using Linux back when I was about 14, way before Linux was "cool". Geeky huh? Yumm, Electronic candy…

Everyone I grew up with practically lived on them. We would fly through Nintendo Power and Electronic Gaming Monthly like little kids in a candy shop (come to think of it we were).

I couldn't have been THAT young back in the day. <BR/><BR/>Then again I got a Super Nintendo for Christmas the first year they were out, I also got a Genesis that year as well. Still we had a Nintendo for a few years before that, so I think I was playing games since I was 6! I remember gettng Nintendo Power back in 3rd and 4th grade, and at that time we had the NES for a year or two. Looking up the SNES on Wikipedia has it coming out in 1991. That was 15 years ago, that means I got a SNES when I was 8. I guess that makes you about 4 Colin, which would explain why you missed all the great SNES classics.<BR/><BR/>Apparently, the only person I know who played the old classic games is my Thesis Advisor. Everyone I know is to young or just didn't game at that time. You’re making me feel old. I couldn’t have been THAT young back in the day.

You were like 10... I missed out on much of the early video gaming era because I wasn't old enough. :( You have to remember Jon, I was only 6 when that game came out.

I can't believe you weren't sure you played it. I thought everyone had :P. It's also one of the easier games to finish (but still fun!). Now go beat Contra for NES in one sitting without save states! I don't think I've ever finished the game, I'd be up for trying it sometime. Turtles in Time was the classic fighting game on the SNES. I can’t believe you weren’t sure you played it.
